Chapter 887: Summer Before Dark and Pandora's Box
The neon of the prince's wedding naturally attracted national attention, not only the wedding was live, but the grand fireworks show that night will also be live, plus this day is Tanabata, the streets of Tokyo are very lively, countless girls wearing yukatas, stepping on clogs and grass shoes, holding a fan lightly fluttering girls on the streets, stepping to the shrine to beg........
The fireworks and the glimmer of fireflies in this summer have left the most warm and brilliant colors for this summer, and also left good memories for countless people. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This year's Tanabata Tokyo Fireworks Festival is particularly grand, as the Meiji Jingu Gaien Garden, the crown prince's wedding, will launch about 90,000 fireworks from 7:30 to 10:30, the highest fireworks display ever.
Because there is a notice in advance, countless domestic and foreign tourists from all over the neon are gathered in Tokyo, making the hotels in Tokyo overcrowded, and at this moment the Meiji Jingu Shrine is even more crowded, in addition to enjoying the gorgeous fireworks, there are countless classic neon snacks such as teppanyaki, oden, wagashi, octopus balls, etc., for visitors to satisfy their cravings.......
However, they did not go to Meiji Jingu to enjoy the fireworks, because the Prince East Palace is not far from the fireworks launch site of the Meiji Jingu Palace, and the top floor platform of the East Palace is also a good place to watch the fireworks.
In the afternoon, Shizumi and the crown prince were going to meet the emperor and the queen, Cheng Xiaoyu had a short rest in the room for a few hours, and at this moment was pulled to the top floor by Ishida Rina to participate in the drinking party, Ishida Rina naturally took the time to pat and be afraid, as a girl This is one of her biggest hobbies, and Cheng Xiaoyu has never taken a selfie from beginning to end, even if she was pulled by Ishida Rina for a group photo, her expression was very stiff, so she was complained by Ishida Rina that she didn't look like a girl at all.......
Cheng Xiaoyu could only smile awkwardly, and his heart was indeed: It's not like it, I'm not a ........... at all
Cheng Xiaoyu went to eat at the buffet table, Rina Ishida went to various corners to complete her selfie career, he stood at the table alone, and occasionally a man saw him alone and stepped forward to greet him, in this case Cheng Xiaoyu was still able to refuse with a smile.
When the sky is getting dark, not far away with a sharp whistle, a bunch of fireworks swaying the light body, with a bright brilliance through the dark blue sky, at this time it is the brilliant star that dares to compete with the sun and the moon, and the price of vanishing the clouds in exchange for a moment of dazzling - with the blooming of this bright flower, the fireworks display begins. (BGM "Toe.You.Again" - Ke Yokoyama)
Accompanied by the gentle strings of the small symphony orchestra, bunches of fireworks like sharp scissors tearing through the cloth, and chirping, soaring into the sky, drawing a shallow mark in the inky night sky, disintegrating in the depths of the mist, and then hundreds of brilliant parabolas poured down, purple and red, dazzling, and finally like a light raindrop of joy disappeared into the night sky.
Cheng Xiaoyu looked up at the fireworks rising in the sky one after another like morning stars, and began to miss the person who was not around, the roaring fireworks above his head fell like a meteor, and the dazzling eyes and surprise that bloomed on his head cooled into useless powder in an instant.
This made him begin to sigh, in fact, maybe no one cared that it had brought a moment of prosperity, or that it had suddenly missed the eternal eyes of someone in the darkness because of its beauty.
It, like a proud dead man, with such a brilliant and high-profile posture, has crushed itself to ashes and won the attention of all people, but maybe it is just expecting the gaze of a certain person.
Cheng Xiaoyu once thought that what a splendid destination this was, the flowers bloomed without branches, and the flowers fell to the dust, why not let himself explode vigorously and cleanly in the years of a hurried glance, but now he began to doubt whether he had the courage to ignite the fuse that rushed to destruction.......
At this time, the fireworks in the sky came and went, occupying the sky in a compact and rapid manner, making people dizzy, impacting the vision with its majestic atmosphere and stunning magnificence, and conquering the psychology.
Cheng Xiaoyu's thoughts were churning, standing in the grand scene with a glass of champagne in his hand, standing a little lonely, and suddenly the hand that hung down was warmly held, and he turned his head to see Ijiin Jingmei standing beside him in a red kimono embroidered with white cranes and eighteen chrysanthemums.
Ijiin Jingmei looked at Cheng Xiaoyu's perfect side face flashing with a demonic color under the flickering fireworks, and asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking?" ”
The top floor is large, but there are many people, but it doesn't seem crowded at all, and the neon high society gathers here to enjoy the fireworks while whispering in circles, and no one pays attention to this pair of men and women who are trying to hide themselves.
Cheng Xiaoyu whispered a little lonely: "I'm thinking, I became strong by living for someone, but in that case, what is right?" What do you care about? It must be, don't use 'for someone' as an excuse, no matter what the answer is, be sure that it is the path you have chosen....."
Yijiin Jingmei let go of Cheng Xiaoyu's hand, picked up a glass of champagne from the table on the side, touched it with Cheng Xiaoyu, drank it all, and said, "Actually, you should be as clear as me." Life and death are not important, the important thing is to respect life, it is not important whether life is noble or not, the important thing is to respect one's own existence, when oneself still has life, when oneself still exists, with one's own yearning heart, never stop pursuing that answer. But in fact, it doesn't matter if there is an answer or not, the important thing is to look forward to life. Remember the last gift in Pandora's box? ”
Cheng Xiaoyu chuckled lightly and said, "Everyone knows this, it's hope"
Yijiyuan Jingmei felt that Cheng Xiaoyu's smile was full of neutral beauty at this moment, she looked at Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes and said, "That's right, this is it." Even if you will question it, even if you ask why, so what? There is no need to be bitter or uneasy about this, because human beings are like this, that is, they have a heart full of curiosity, anticipation, hope, and never stopping. In fact, if Pandora didn't open the box, disaster and hope didn't exist? I want to tell you that, in my opinion, the pain was already there before that. Prometheus and Zeus had pain, and Pandora herself had pain, not to mention us all beings. Pain does not come from Pandora's box, on the contrary, it is precisely because of pain that Pandora's box was invented, and if there is no pain, what is the point of happiness? ”
Shizumi Ijiin looked up slightly at the fireworks in the night sky and the stars, closed her eyes and said, "It is only on this special day that I truly feel that noble emotions and things like these are not things that must be respected in life, absolutely not. Affection is nothing but a fire in the field after the wheat is harvested: it burns for a while, and all that remains is black ashes. You know what is the main thing that sustains the relationship...... That is, what should a woman look for in her man? ”
She said calmly in the slight warm breeze: "She is looking for a quality, which may not be exciting at all, but it is extremely rare for herself: some women find the quality of life in each other, some women find the quality of talent in each other, and some women find moral qualities such as decency and kindness in each other......."
Cheng Xiaoyu felt that the quiet beauty of Yijiyuan at this moment was like a silver candlestick, emitting a dim light in the dark space. But he should be completely precise here: at this moment, Ijiin Shizumi looked to him like a candle, like a candlestick, like a dark space..........
Perhaps the word happiness for Shizumi Ijiin is also black, a sweetness mixed with pain.
Cheng Xiaoyu said self-deprecatingly: "It seems that there is nothing worth pursuing in me.......
"Follow me." Ijiin Shizumi whispered, then put down the wine glass and pulled Cheng Xiaoyu towards the staircase on the top floor, the two carefully walked through the clusters of people, crossed the guards and walked into the stairwell, leaving the bustle and hustle outside, at this time there were only the two of them left, Ijiin Shizumi said while walking down the stairs: "Of course there is, a sense of anticipation for tomorrow....... Because you make me wonder what life will be like tomorrow........ I'm already scared of this life that doesn't change day in and day out........"
"Meeting you makes my life interesting, although tomorrow may be terrible, but it is also worth thanking, pain is actually a very precious thing......" The two walked hand in hand in the orange lit stairwell, and there was the sound of fireworks and faint string music outside.........
Cheng Xiaoyu saw that there was no one around, and asked in a low voice, "Where are we going?" ”
Ijiin Shizumi smiled like fireworks in the sky, and she said, "Take you to a place ........"
Cheng Xiaoyu said with some worry: "Doesn't it matter if you leave the banquet?" ”
"It's okay, I said I'm a little uncomfortable, go back to my room and rest......." Ijiin Shizumi replied quietly, and at this moment they were moving quickly forward in the somewhat empty corridor, the heavy blue Persian carpet made their footsteps faint, the candelabra-style wall lamps on both sides exuded a warm halo, and the walls covered with gold wallpaper also had portraits of emperors of the past, such scenes were like old pictures from film films.
Cheng Xiaoyu held the hem of the kimono in one hand, and the other hand was led by Shizumi Ijiin towards a place he didn't know, the shadows of the two on the carpet seemed shrunk together, and the shadows on the wall were slender and graceful.
Walking to the middle of this corridor, Ijiin stopped and gasped slightly, there was a double-open brass door with intricate patterns carved on it, and in the center was the neon royal family crest, and the pure gold handle glittered in the light.
Ijiin Jingmei pressed the fingerprint lock next to the handle, and she heard a soft sound, she held the handle and pushed open the somewhat heavy door, turned her head to Cheng Xiaoyu and said, "Welcome to my room......."
Then she pulled Cheng Xiaoyu into the dim room, hugged Cheng Xiaoyu's neck, and said with a strange light in her eyes: "This is the imperial palace, one of the most noble and solemn places in neon, I think it must be very interesting to do something profane at this time and place." ”
Saying this, Shizumi Ijiin is like Pandora who has opened a magic box.
(Some people say I'm a big fan of neon culture...... If you read the book carefully, you will find that I am actually deconstructing, speaking of which, as the three most important countries in the East Asian cultural circle, neon, China and the Republic of Korea, have completely different attitudes towards culture, in fact, there is a Vietnam, but Vietnam has little influence, so I won't mention it here......
